INDICATION: TAZVERIK is indicated for the treatment of patients aged 16 years and older with metastatic or locally advanced epithelioid sarcoma who are not eligible for complete resection

RECOMMENDED DOSE: 800 mg orally twice daily

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS:

  • Secondary malignancies: Across clinical trials of 668 adults who received TAZVERIK 800 mg twice daily, myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia occurred in 0.6% of patients. One pediatric patient developedT-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma
  • Embryo-fetaltoxicity

ADVERSE REACTIONS: Most common AR (>20%, any grade)1are pain, fatigue, nausea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation. Dose reduction due to AR in one (2%) patient. Treatment discontinuation due to AR in one (2%) patient.
